This definitely applies to autocad though! A lot of the better products are perhaps a reaction to the bloat of older products.

I think a lot of the need for public disclosure is tied up with the benefits you get from starting a business. Perhaps the default should be for people to do more as private citizens rather than working through a company. Place more limit

Because an actual human person needs to take responsibility and be accountable. That is the job of a director. The buck has to stop somewhere.

The legitimate purpose is choosing to not trade with a company owned by a particular person. And that facility should be open to anyone without having to jump through hoops.

Calling someone an idiot would very rarely be considered "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character;". Some words or actions are menacing, for example if someone said they wanted to rape your child. And

A broader question is to ask if it is really optimal to favour super-competitive workaholics. It is possible that for many organisations people who are more cooperative and want a good work life balance actually make more effective manager

In somewhere like the UK the "authority" can be the large land owner/aristocrat. And individuals own relatively little land. It is the kind of thing that Americans escaped from! In that context public access is a defence of

Exactly. A bird isn't "raising young" in an abstract way. It has genes that produce certain behaviour. Build nest. Sit on egg. Roll egg out of nest if you get too hungry. Regurgitate food into squaking red mouth. Remove

I think the biggest potential is with Microsoft Teams in business. It is ubiquitousness in people's work life, has access to data and has integrated with everything. And adding cortana to calls would be an easy step for people to und

FME deserves a mention, an ETL aimed at GIS data. It is the only automation tool I have ever used that doesn't make me want to switch to code. Everything can output to a node which makes it easier to understand errors. And every stag

Even if it was a Ukrainian missile the reason it was fired was because of the Russian invasion. Firing a missile in defence and accidentally hurting someone is much more forgivable.

And much of what we percieve as real isn't. Your senses are used as an input to a model rather than being available in a raw form and we percieve the model. For example your brain takes a stream of data from your eyes as they flick in

Surely the mission of those companies act as a motivation. Going to mars etc. Twitter is just a utility. It isn't exciting in that way .

I guess it could have been a quid pro quo for some kind of support from China. It makes a switch to the east more explicit.

That is expecting Google to prove a negative about the user. They probably don't want to have the obligation to verify that the user really is innocent. And police inaction is not evidence of that.

Pumped hydro is very dependent on location. But the supply of energy would not need to be. Electricity grids and DC interconnectors work really well. Having a few massive sites spread across a continent could work well.

Its not like you can easily sign a PO for a pumped storage site either. Large scale civil engineering is still difficult in most places. And surely it requires lots of survey and design work. With batteries you can design the site, get con

It can be a bit like black people using the N word, OK in context. We are all getting older, we have elderly relatives who we love and aging is just an obvious part of life. In that context people won't take it personally and understa

Our biggest problem is that we are not rich enough and I absolutely agree that the Tory party hold a lot of responsibility for that. Poor choices on oil and gas are a part of that.
